AI Infrastructure
The next trillion-dollar bottleneck in AI isn't algorithms, it's power and cooling
The explosive growth of generative AI is exposing a hard limit: the physical infrastructure needed to train and serve models at scale. Hyperscalers, chip designers, and a wave of energy-focused startups are pouring capital into rethinking data centers, cooling, and power delivery, betting that the next frontier of AI competition is infrastructural, not algorithmic.

Microsoft releases gridsfm, a lightweight foundation model for power grid optimization
Microsoft's GridSFM is a neural network that solves AC optimal power flow (AC-OPF) in milliseconds across grids of up to 80,000 buses, offering a fast, accurate approximation that can serve standalone or as a warm-start for traditional solvers. The open-source model aims to transform grid operations from reactive to proactive optimization.
